title: [The nature of the interactions of imipramine and serotonin with human lymphocytes].
abstract: The work deals with the study of tritium-labeled serotonin (3H-5-hydroxytryptamine, 3H-5-HT) binding with mononuclear leukocytes (lymphocytes) isolated from human peripheral blood. It was shown that 3H-5-HT interacts specifically with the lymphocytes according to the type of reversible, saturated, and temperature-dependent receptor binding. The parameters of binding of the dissociation constant of the ligand-receptor complex and the maximum concentration of the binding centers were determined. It was shown that the tricyclic antidepressant imipramine inhibits the binding of 3H-5-HT with IC50 = 280 nm. The binding of 3H-5-HT with lymphocytes is Na-insensitive but is inhibited by Ca and Mg ions. The interrelation of 3H-5-HT with the lymphocytes differs in nature from the process of reuptake capture of 3H-5-HT by the blood platelets.
